@QuickHitRecord;

Here's a link to WestSideAV's FS700 kit, the FS100 is very close, and i think Olaf now has a baseplate specfic to the 100.. they have piccies of the production kit half way down the page - my baseplates are the prototype, i've had them for a while now.. rock solid, built to a standard that would be right at home on any Arriflex;

Hello, are you satisfied about your proaim MB800 ?
I've to choose a mattebox, but I'm hesitating...

Yea it works just like it should, the camera's have been around the world mutiple times and it's held up just fine, is stiff enough to not worry about, light enough to not notice it's on when handheld, flags lock in solidly and stay put without tapeing them, would like S9 inserts as i have a ton of S9 filters, but i don't use much but a digicon at times and ND's, and i don't have any legacy IRND's anyway, and prefer to use them with this camera, so i was going to buy new filters in any case ;-)

Thanks for your help

Building on my experiment from before, I think I've figured it out (at least for my needs). Funny how much this resembles the original mic holder:





It's very sturdy, modular, and breaks down quickly. This may be it!
